The National Institute of Faith Leadership (NIFL) is an Islamic institution of education, research, dialogue and introspection, with a bold vision of questioning today’s interpretation of Architecture and how it addresses faith! The campus is envisaged as an ecosystem to evolve and modernize Islam, to reiterate traditional values that are relevant in contemporary times and reposition them in a secular, plural and national context.

The basic form of this object on site is mass with a hole. A courtyard that allows light into the building as it celebrates the introverted magnificence of an Islamic institution. The breaking of the arch is synonymous with the opening of the mind from myths and traditions. The iconic entrance is celebrating just that; an arch in concrete removes the ‘key stone’ to liberate the form, allowing in light and space.

The building consists of basic geometrical forms but their sheer volumes create a bold architectural impression. The labor force for the construction of the building comprised the followers of the client Mahmood Madani's preaching from the neighboring village.
